About Swinging

      The number One rule – No Means No… You, your Partner, or the people you are playing with all have this right. At anytime the word NO is used Stop… “No” or “No thank you” is the ultimate safety word and it is more than enough. This magic word will help avoid bad or hurt feelings.
Be Nice – Be polite and courteous to everyone whether you are interested in swinging with someone or not. Be Courteous – Treat others the way you want to be treated. Be understanding, kind, thoughtful. Everyone can be sensitive at times. Show respect to others– People’s comfort levels are different. Be mindful of your partner as well as everyone else. Everyone should be enjoying themselves if you notice things aren’t working the way things should be polite, stay calm, and be courteous - remember this should be fun. Everyone should be relaxed.

 Don’t be Pushy – Remember the magic word “NO” everybody has the right to use this word. You will hear this word more than once in your journey so you need to learn to handle it. “NO” is not spelled d-i-s-m-e-m-b-e-r-m-e-n-t, it means someone is uncomfortable for some reason – don’t take it personally.  Be courteous and politely say “OK. Thank you. Not a problem”. Show respect and common courtesy, accept the no for what it is and move on. No grabbing is a good rule. If you are interested in someone let them know in an inviting way.

This is for Fun– No need to take one for the team… This is about enjoying yourself and others.  Do what you feel like doing. You never have to do something you don’t feel like doing… If you aren’t interested in someone or if you aren’t interested in doing something, then don’t. It is that simple.
